Bird Spotting: Peregrine Falcon aka American Kestrel

Edit: Ignore everything about any falcons. No falcons to see here. However, there is definitely an American kestrel. I don’t know who said anything about falcons. Ahem.

(My friend, Amanda, gently corrected me on this. The cow.)

I was out for a walk earlier today and saw a Peregrine Falcon American Kestrel. At least I think it is. It is juvenile and missing some chest pattern. I have lightbox installed – you can click the images to see larger versions.

It’s at times like this that I seriously crave a better lens for nature purposes.
